MUMBAI: Shoaib Malik and his third bride, Sana Javed, have become the talk of the town in recent times due to their unexpected marriage announcement.

During a recent podcast appearance on Samaa TV, Pakistani journalist Naeem Hanif disclosed that Shoaib Malik and Sana Javed have been dating for three years. They hit it off when they first met on a reality show set and became friends. During that period, they were both married to their respective ex-spouses. He continued by saying that he would always ask the producers of a reality show to include Sana as well, but since they were both married at the time, nobody considered this.

Naeem Hanif continued, saying that Sania Mirza told the Malik family of this affair as soon as she became aware of it. Sania Mirza and Shoaib Malik's home in Dubai was visited by the Malik clan, who tried to convince them to reconcile and begin planning their wedding. However, Shoaib and Sania split because they weren't ready to continue on with their marriage.

Shoaib Malik's family had taken Sania's side in the matter and accused the cricket player of cheating, Naeem Hanif revealed. He continued by saying that Imran Zafar, the husband of Shoaib's older sister, made every effort to reconcile the two but to no success. All of the Malik family members have agreed not to attend Shoaib Malik's third wedding. Therefore, they didn't even show up.

Sana Mirza and Shoaib Malik parted ways not long after, and Sana Javed asked her husband Umair Jaswal for a divorce. The singer claimed that everything in his wedding was going according to plan, but was completely taken aback by the demand. The couple realized their marriage was meaningless on the inside, therefore they ended it cordially.
